DE Jaelan Phillips (Miami)

The Jets haven’t had a dominant edge rusher in awhile. The drought on the edge comes to a halt with the selection of Jaelan Phillips. The upside is tremendous and if he remains healthy and on the right path, he could develop into a Pro Bowl edge defender for the Jets.

CB Ifeatu Melifonwu (Syracuse)

We’re guessing they’d love to give their rookie QB some more help on offense. But we also assume that new head coach Robert Saleh will want another long corner to fit his cover-3 system. Enter Melifonwu, who stands 6-foot-2 and has 32-inch arms. He lacks great speed and quickness, but those traits aren’t as essential in this scheme.

CB Asante Samuel, Jr. (Florida State)

Samuel has compared his game to Jaire Alexander and he's not wrong; he plays much bigger than his size and with the type of aggressiveness that new coach Robert Saleh will love.

Paye's fall ends here with the Jets, a team that, after this pick, suddenly has a threatening pass rush.

Here's how SNY's Ralph Vacchiano sees things shaking out for the Jets.
